    2:40 As soon as you said Fae Princess! I was like not again.. you’re right, everything is almost the same these days! I’m currently reading “when the moon hatched” and let me tell you , that is the most unique romatasy I have read in a while! It’s so good, you definitely need to try it when you are in the mood for fantasy!

    I read 9 books in February, and honestly hated most of them (was kinda in a anxious book slump) but, I reeeaally enjoyed “The Witch’s Heart”. It’s Norse mythology. So cozy, and cute, and FUN, and serious at the same time. I really liked it. It’s a retelling/reimagining

    Hmmm my best books of February are actually rereads so not sure if that counts but ah well.... probably the Jade City series and The Name of the Wind series, both are absolutely incredible though the Name of the Wind is still incomplete so slightly frustrating. I'll just have to keep waiting and maybe one day the 3rd one will come out ;( I'm interested in trying more books outside my SF and Fantasy comfort zone and am definitely intrigued by The Women- do you have any other main recommendations (literary fiction, historical fiction ish) ? Looking forward to the next video :))

    My favorite read of February was my re-read of the Heroes of Olympus series by Rick Riordan (the series that comes after Percy Jackson) and also book 5 of the Harry Potter book series, which I'm also currently re-reading!! I really want to read the Throne of Glass series by Sarah J Maas, because a lot of people are recommending them to me since I really liked the Harry Potter series! I also want to get the physical paperback book set of the Throne of Glass series! I read only 3 books this month, if you also count my re-read of the second Percy Jackson book!
